How to transfer a large amount of money
We all dream of having lots of money so that we can do what we want, whenever we want.
Holiday in the Mediterranean? Sure.
New car? Yes please.
The latest pair of trainers? No sweat.
Although it may not seem like it, there are some problems with having large amounts of money - especially if you want to send it abroad.
This is because sending a large amount of money abroad with your bank will expose you to high fees, which are often a percentage of the amount you’re trying to send.
For example, if you’re sending £2000 abroad to a friend or family member, you might expect to pay 7% of the amount as a bank fee. We can all agree that we’d rather not pay £140 as a transfer fee for this transfer!
Plus, when you transfer large amounts of money with your bank, you need to be aware of poor exchange rates. The exchange rate they offer might be up to 5% off what the real rate is. And you can guess where those hidden charges go - right into the bank’s pocket!
How can I transfer a large amount of money with low fees?
The safest way to steer clear of high fees when you’re sending a large amount of money abroad is by choosing a specialist money transfer provider that has low, flat fees for its international transactions.
